ABC News Reporter Jonathan Karl's Lapel Microphone creates False Narrative in Trump vs McCain Tribute Controversy.

I'm not going to accuse ABC News of intentionally doing what they did, but what they did did not accurately reflect the reality of the situation. On three occasions ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl is clearly heard asking Donald Trump about John McCain. Please watch the video below by clicking here.

After watching the video, do you recall how vivid Jonathan Karl's voice was? This is because his own lapel microphone is recording his voice. Karl's voice sounds so crystal clear that it makes Trump ignoring Karl that much more ominous.

However, the real reality is that Trump could not hear Karl as vividly as we can. There were all kinds of people yelling at Trump from about 10 to 20 feet away, Karl's voice was probably still audible at that distance but it would have been mixed in with all the other voices in the room speaking at the same time, creating an overall buzz of audio as multiple people were yelling at the same time.

The Dashcam Detective watched other angles of this event and the audio was definitely much less vivid, just as loud but much less intelligble as many many more voices were all shouting at the president, all at the same time.

Dashcam Detective is not taking a side here politically, just pointing out that the position of the Lapel microphone on Jonathan Karl's did not give a fair representation of the actual overall audio sound in the room and most definitely did not come close to matching what the President was actually hearing from his own vantage point. Yet the unsuspecting viewer will just presume that Mr. Trump was hearing Mr. Karl as clearly as those watching the video were, and that, is fake news.
